I was checking on medieval maps and cartography on India, when I came upon some interesting articles on the Survey of India. Its a review on a book "The Great Arc" by John Keay and also an interview with Keay. Links below

Is there any info on medieval maps made by Indians. There's a book called
"Cartography in the Traditional Islamic and South Asian Societies" by J. B. Harley and David Woodward. Has anyone read that book. Its pretty expensive.
